212 TPS1200 Technical Data
Formula The instrument calculates in accordance with the following formula:
•
slope distance
• horizontal distance
• height difference
Earth curvature and mean refraction coefficient k = 0.13 are taken into account auto-
matically. The calculated horizontal distance relates to the station height, not to the
reflector height.
